I finally noticed an increase in battery life today. I tried turning off Ll the regular stuff outlined in other threads except WiFi. Just for the hell of it last night was my fourth cycle charging and I turned off WiFi before I went to bed. As of morning I had a full charge still. I've been using the phone pretty heavily today and I still have over 50 percent charge. I don't know if it was the fourth cycle or not but having WiFi off really seemed to help. It's not oh my god better, but really noticeable. One advantage is that verizons 3g is pretty snappy so not having WiFi isn't really noticeable.

I cant really confirm if this helps life or not, but you are automatically logged into GTalk when you sign into your google account when setting up the phone. Go into the app, settings then uncheck automatic login, then logout.

I have noticed better battery life after doing this. Might just be in my head, but its worth a shot, right?

Thanks for the tip. One thing I noticed after doing this is that the 'GTalkService' keeps running in the background. Anybody know how to stop this from starting? I killed the service and everything looks okay so far. I don't plan on using using google talk anyway.

That's odd, mine definetly isnt running in the backround on my phone. Maybe try re-setting your phone and see if that helps.
